The President has, by pocket veto,
prevented the dsmemberment of
Idaho. He has acted very strangely
in this matter, as he had Il petition
from very large majority of the citi
zens of that Territory, in favor of the
first move towards annexation to Ne.
vada. This immense petition il seems
had no weight against the words of
one or two men with whom he was
acquainted Now President Cleve-
land, aside from strictly party meas.
ures, is satisfying most Republicans
that it is bis aim to act fairly and
foster The best Interests of the country.
He has been So little of partisan
President that many of his own party
have declared themselves against him
and his independence of thought and
action is generally eommendable, but
In the matter of Idaho he has either
not informed himself sufficiently or

by periudice which it is hard to be-
lieve that he entertains, The anneXa-
ton of southern Idaho to Nevada
would be for the good OF all concerned,
and none but u few, who would lose
some small Federal positions, would
suffer. However, while the execution
of the scheme of annexation is delayed
by his action, the subject is not drop
ped, and we can rest assured that dur
ing the next session another bill for
dismemberment will be passed, and
and that it will probably not be vetoed,
1t may be opposed by some OF the
Democrats as having a tendency to
make an assuredly Republican State
out of one that is now very close, but
it is not probable that the party as
party will oppose the wish and inter
ests of the people, on political grounds
Such opposition would be destruction
to themselves as the Democratic lead
ers fully understand

General Wolseley, the most distin-
guished living English soldier, likes
the Americans and don't mind saying
SO. He says:
Il am great admirer of America
and the American people, | witnessed
at Washington the final review Of the

war. The spectacle of that immense
force melting away among the people,
and being almost Immediately absorbed

the people in England that the educa-
ton of public man is not complete
until he has been in America and stayed
there at least six months. Every step
which brings England and America
nearer together seems TO me step
nearer the realization of the idea of
the civilization of the future. With
such miserable squabble over ak ettle
of fish as the present fisheries dispute,

of ordinary tact or experience was
sent over with sufficient authority
to arrange matters with a similar
American representative, the whole

ing Office. The Act provides that no
officer of the State, nor county officer,
nor City Trustee can be directly or in
directly interested IN State contract.
The committee consisting OF Briggs,
Foley and sharon in investigating the
matter did not seek for any further
light in the case of Miller d Schmitt as
they claimed thai 1t was matter
beyond the control of the Legislature,
and that if any law had been violated
it was within the jurisdiction of The
county authorities 10 correct il. They
found that State Treasurer Tuhy WAS
the President of the gas company of
Carson City and held stock in the COM
pany, also that the price the State paid
for the gas was higher than charged
certain individuals. Mr.. Tuhy ex-
planned this by saying that in some
instances very large private consumers
We're allowed rebate. He was Presi-
dent Of the gas company before he was
elected Treasurer. The Secretary of
the company made the contract and
he was merely q stakeholder ia the
company
The committee also ascertalned that
Wells Drury while Deputy Secretary
OF State was given the contract of
advertising the Constitutional Amend
ments and received $500 for the work.
1t was held that Deputy State officers
were not amenable to the law as their
superior officers would be, while on
the other hand lawyers claim that the
decisions in cases involving the right
and responsibilities of Deputies have
given the same official status to each.
The committee, however, found the
time too short to secure any further
information in the matter, and held
that their labors were at an end after
turning the matter over 10 The Attorney
General for future action. The Sena
tors said that it was not the idea OF
the Senate to press the matter, but it
was for the purpose Of calling public
attention to the intringements of the
law that in future officials would be
more careful 1t was the general
opinion that the law had been broken
more through ignorance of its very
stringent provisions than otherwise
and that from this on, officials will
when they go into office give very
careful read Ing of everything that
pertains to their department, In the
case of the relations between the gas
company and the State if the matter
was pressed the company could turn
oil the gas and this would necessi-
tate kerosene lamps and large
expense to the State, thing to DC
avoided If possible. Whether stock
holder can be regarded as "a principal
in a contrac. is disputable legal ques-
tion.-1ppeal.

MR. IRISH.

The President has again appointed
Mr.. Irish, Surveyor General He will
at least bold the office until the session
of the fftiefh Congress begins, and he
should be confirmed. The fight made
against him was insineere on the part
OF many and unbecomine on the part
of all who were taking part against
him. AS soon as the heat of politics
went down most of those who had
been echoing the cry, saw that they
were committing themselves to a mis-
take and dropped the subject, but
others with pet candidates continued
the cry and injustice was done by the
Senate, in the name of consistency.
Now that the people of Nevada have
seen Mr.. Irish and have learned his
qualities, they would prefer that he
should remain. He would be most
valuable citizen and the President con
ferred favor on the State in appoint
ing him. The Democrats are entitled
TO the Federal offices and when good
appointments are made Republicans
should uphold them. The Govern
ment is of all the Suites, and Federal
appointments are of the Government.
There is no established precedent
against the appointment Of citizens of
one State to positions in another and
there is no reason why there should
be. For political purposes the home
rule CRY is repeated, not because ii APP.
plies properly TO Federal appoint
ments but because the sound is likely
to attract votes from class who use
the same words with an entirely dit
ierent apparent application. There is
no necessity Tor home rule agitation
in tins couatry Americans are Ameri-
cans all over the United tates. This
IL but one country and Americans are
everywhere al home. 1t is a glori-
uu.ly free country and those who
want to sec home rule in Ireland have
constitutional privilege OF going
there and fighting for it, but Ameri-
cans feel that they are kept busy at
tending to their own business and do
not even like to see trans atlantic
party cries mixed up with American
politics.

ate. The next Senate will consist OF
IS Republicans and 80 Democrats,
with Riddleberger an uncertain guam
tity as he is just as liable to vote with
the Democrats as the Republicans.
The House is controlled by the Demo-
Gratis and with a Democratic admins
tration this party has gained more
power in the direction of the govern
ment than it has enjoyed since the
war. The four seats in the Senate
were lost IN the last elections of the
State Legislatures more through
treachery and trading by the Repub-
lican members than party indliler-
ence. In the States of Indiana, Cali
fornia, Virginia and New Jersey 1t
was through party jealousies that the
Republican candidates were showed
under, and in New Jersey especially,
the Republicans elected Blodgett, IA
Democrat aud President of a railroad,
because of the unpopularity of the lie
publican candidate. Riddleberger of
Virginia having the balance Of power,
will play an important part in the next
Congress, and as he has complained of
being snubbed upon all occasions by
bis fellow members, he will have the
opportunity to exercise his power 10
the discontinue Of his colleagues,
Should he stand by his party in the Sen
ate, and vote with the Republicans
upon the important questions his pol
itical success is insured, but should he
betray his party, his political grave is
inevitable, The actions of Riddle
berger will be closely scrutinlzed by
the country. -Rer6iile.

a good Latin scholar, though long
neglect had let that language and
literature become dim in his memory.
He was not much given to talk OF his
early lite; but the few now in lnyo
county who ever heard him speak on
that subject believed implicitly every
word he said. None of these can re-
member that he ever named the year
of his BIRTH As learned from his con-
versatlon from time to time, he was
bora in County Mayo, ireland. He
was entered as a student at Maynorth
College, near Dublin, and got his edu-
cation there. The disastrous ending
of the Irish rebellion in 1898 had not
deferred others from plotting to get
free of English tyranny. Napoleon,
in 1904, was declared Emperor of the
French. The sanguine Irish people
thought that the new Emperor and
mighty eonqueror might be induced
to send them aid. Secret meetings
were held and delegates chosen to go
to Paris and ask for help. The closest
watch was kept of the Irish coasts by
English armed vessels; but in snug
Cling lugger the delegates managed to
elude the blockade; got to sea and
reached the French coast in safety.
Young O'Malley accompanied the
delegates, and was admitted with them
to the presence of the Emperor. Ma
poleon amused the delegates with
vague promises; the camp at Boulogne
had been formed; mighty army was
organized for the invasion of England,
and only awaited the arrival of the
French fleet, under Admiral Villen-
euye, to attempt repetition OF the
exploit accomplished by Norman
William, seven hundred and thirty
years before. But alas for the hopes
of Ireland, the diminutlve body that
contained the mighty soul of Horatio
Nelson encountered Villeneuve; the
French fleet was destroyed; the inva-
sion of England abandoned; the camp
at Boulogne was broken up, and Ma
poleon marched his army to Ulm and
Austerliiz. O'Malley prolonged his
stay III France, not returning to his
native land till some years after the
final downfall of Napoleon, in 1915.
In 1884 he came TO the United States,
and was among the eager and adven-
turous men who rushed 10 California
in '49. He became infatuated with
prospecting for gold and silver, and
continued an eager prospector up to
within very short time of his death.
He was last at Independence little
more than year ago, and made the
the trip from Darwin, "a distance of
hfty.siX miles, on foot. UGH story
may be thought Incredible: if true,
O'Malley must have been very nearly,
if not quite, as old as our republic.
He conld hardly be less than one
hundred and ten years old. 1t should
be borne in nine that there is living
and good evidence that he was very
Old man at least thrty-siX years ago.
More than one witness would testify
that he was truthful, honorable man
not given to idle talk, nor prone to
speak Of himself No one of these
Witnesses has the least doubt OF the
entire truth of his story, however
strange II may appear to Others.

THROUGH THE TEMPLE.
A Young Laramie Man Com,
mits Suicide Yesterday.
Dependency and Mental De-
bility Prompt the Deed.
A Young Girl Goes Insane at a
Theater.

LARAMIE CITY, Dec. ia young
man named Borncman, who is a nephew
of Col. Gustave Schnitger, ex-United
States marshal of the territory, committed
suicide here at I o'clock this evening.
Borneman came here last winter from
Davenport, Iowa. While enroutc the
train was snow bound for three days in
Western Nebraska, and the combined
effect of cold and hunger affected his
mind. On his arrival here it was discov-
cred that he was almost perfectly helpless
mentally, and had forgotten all about the
hard experiences through which he had
Just passed.
Col. Schnitger took the young man
with him to his ranch and kept him there
during the winter. His general health
and mental condition improved steadily
until spring time, when he had appar-
emily entirely recovered. At his own sug-
gestion he remained on the ranch all
summer, working faithfully. About a
month ago he secured a job in the Union
Pacific shops in this city, being an excel
lent machinist, He held the place until
a few days ago, when for some
reason he became dissatisfied and
quit. Col. Schnitger coming to
town invited him to spend another winter
on the ranch. Borneman readily ac-
guessed and purchased a complete outfit
of heavy clothing such as he thought
needful. Last evening he vent to the
house at which he boarded, the intention
being to start for the ranch in the morn
ing. He was invited to spend the even
ing with the family in which he boarded
and promised that he would spend a little
time with them. He finally went up to
his room. Twenty minutes afterward
those in the house were startled by hear
ing a pistol shot and going up stairs found
Borneman lying on the floor of his bed
room. A revolver lay at his side and q
gaping wound in his right temple showed
that he had done deadly execution. His
death was instantaneous.
The coroner and undertaken were at
once notified and after a hasty cxamina-
ton the remains were removed to an I'm
dertaking establishment.
Borneman was 20 years of age, well
educated and thoroughly liked by all who
knew him. He had been dcspondcnt for
several days and it is thought the decd
was committed in a fit Of temporary in
sanity.

A Dishonest ~Bookkeeper.

knight, bookkeepcr Of the Manuiactur-
ers' National bank, was taken before
United States Commissioner Edwards this
afternoon, charged with stealing from the
funds of the bank between 100000 and
$4,000. 1t is said that Knight has been
appropriating to his own use the banks
money for nearly twenty-five years.
Knight was bookkceper of the Manufact.
urers' National bank for t~hirty-fve years
and had always been considered a trust
worthy man. J.~W. Notify, president of
the bank, said he first discovered that the
books were being falsiied on the 9th of
this month, the balance sheet not coming
out correct within about $50, 900.
